Quick A/N: From now on, each chapter will have an "overview" at the end, which will make the chapters look a lot longer than they actually are when you scroll down. You'll know what I mean when you see it. So I'll be putting a word count at the start of each chapter to give you readers a rough idea of how long the chapter actually is. This chapter in particular is 4,990 words. Anyways, enjoy!

Prologue
The Game:
...
100 Floors
...
55 Allies
...
5 Enemies
...
1 Giant Mothership
...
Mato groaned.
For just a moment of confusion and blurry vision, she thought she was waking back in her bed and everything was just a very long dream.
But the cold sensation of iron that met her back slap her back to reality.
"Mato!" She knew that voice. That voice was Stella's voice.
"Stella," Mato groaned as she slowly picked herself up, "W-where are we? Where are the others?"
Once the dizzyness and blurry vision had cleared, it came to Mato's attention that her body was in perfect shape. Every injury she had was suddenly gone.
"Not sure." Stella replied from inside Mato's head, "We woke up suddenly to find Yuuki and Levi carrying us before-"
"We just blacked out again."
"Yeah."
Mato looked around.
She was in a wide open area but inside. She looked at the walls, ceiling, floor and the overall interior. She could only described it as "advanced, technological alien-looking". It was dimly lit up with red lights. The colours black and red were everywhere.
Wherever she was, this place was huge. To her left, she saw other doors which varied in size and to her right, she saw pillars, and several hallways that went in different directions.
She looked around. Was she in a maze of some sort?
She kept looking until she saw something on the wall in the distance. On the huge wall, there was the words "FL 12" on it.
"What is this place?"
Before Stella could give any of her theories, a loud speaker from an unknown location turned on.
"HELLO EVERYONE!"
Mato knew that voice too well. It was Jack.
His voice was heard throughout the whole area no matter how far you walked.
"WELCOME! To my mothership! My own personal playground!"
Mato shivered in a mixture of anger and fear. Her body still remembered that traumatising night when Jack attacked them which left her and her friends gravely wounded, but at the same time, she felt furious at how carefree Jack was despite all that he has done.
She clenched her fist.
At the same time, in another area.
The area was incredibly wide open. So wide and open that you couldn't see the end of the walls nor could you see the ceiling. It almost seemed endless.
It was also almost completely empty and flat. The only thing occupying that space were large numerous pillars that were evenly spaced across the whole area. The pillars stood tall and reached from the floor all the way up to the ceiling.
Jack sat in the middle of this area, sitting on a large red and black throne. He continued to speak.
"Get comfortable everyone!" He spoke to everyone who was on the ship through speakers so that everyone could hear him.
"Allow me to explain the game. It's quite simple actually:
"In the nutshell, it boils down to allies vs enemies. Whichever team drops to 0 participants...LOSES!
"In total, there are 55 of you. You have all been split randomly across the 100 floors of this ship, do your best to regroup... cause i've disabled all your forms of communication.
"For you, the allies. There are only 5 main enemies you need to defeat. Should be easy right? You already know who three of them are so allow me to introduce them:
"On FLOOR 0! We have the charming old vampire: FERID BATHORNY!
FL 0
Ferid looked up as he listened to Jack's words, "Excuse me, did he just call me old?"
The vampire scanned his surroundings. The area he was also wide open and vast. But it had a different theme to it. A vampire theme that reminded Ferid of his world.
"This is the mothership? Looks like Jack made a lot of changes...This should be interesting."
"On FLOOR 100! We have the undefeated...the unbeaten...the unstoppable... alien queen. WHITE ROCK SHOOTER!"
FL 100
White crossed her arms, slightly annoyed that Jack interrupted her previous fight, "I was just about to get to the good part..."
She sat back in her white thrown.
The area she was in was very bright compared to Ferid's and Jack's. She looked up and could see what she guessed was an artificial copy of space above her despite still being indoors. She already recognised this place. It was a copy of the same battlefield where she fought with Stella which brought back memories, lightening her mood just a bit. She continued to listen to Jack's broadcast.
"And of course! Who can forget!"
Jack gestured his hand to himself even though no one could see in.
"Right in the centre of the mothership, in the centre of ALL THE ATTENTION, right where I belong. In FLOOR 50...is me. I can assure you that the three of us will stay right where we are, so come challenge us...if you can find us that is.
"As for the other two mystery enemies, well...I'll let you find them yourself.
"Now as for the ship. It's a understatement to say this ship is gigantic hence the 100 floors. It's also hugely complex.
"Now be warned: I made this mothership. Going up or down isn't as simple as finding stairs or an elevator. I've placed puzzles, traps and enemies all over the ship. Traps may slow you down or send you to a further floor. Solving puzzles may bring you closer to me or further. Surprises are everywhere, both good and bad, so keep an eye out. Trash mobs and small fry are also spread across all over the ship, and they are currently endless. So good luck with that. There are hidden ways that'll bring you straight to certain floors but I'll leave that for you guys to find...
Jack smiled as he continued his speech. He could barely contain his excitement. It was clear he had been waiting for this for a while now.
"I really do hope that you enjoy this to the fullest. After all, I made all this just for you guys...So have fun, try not to get eliminated too quickly and good luck...You better get moving now..."
FL 80
Black glared but did not say a word.
With no visible fear in her expression, Black began to move.
"Hey! Wait!"
She turned around and saw blonde hair. It was Yang.
"Sup...how's it going?" Yang greeted with a bit nervousness. Black's stare was quite intimidating.
Black did not reply. Instead she turned around and kept walking.
"OI! We should stick together for this!"
It was then, a third person spotted the pair from afar and approached them. He wore a dark black uniform with green outlines.
Yang and Black recognised him almost instantly.
"Hey guys!" He greeted.
"Hey, you're... Yuuuuu-something something."
Yu chuckled, "Yuichiro, but just call me Yu. You're Yang right?"
"That's me, man its good to have someone who replies, I thought I was going to be stuck with her-"
Yang gestured to Black only to realised that Black had began moving again without her noticing.
"Oi! I said wait!" Yang said, slightly annoyed.
"We should follow her, we still don't know much about this place and what Jack has prepared, so it's better we stick together." Yu stated.
"That's what I told her."
The vampire sayer and the aspiring huntress quickly followed after Black.
FL 97
Dead Master looked around. Usually she would be able to sense where her otherself was but something about this place was preventing her from doing so.
Upon hearing another set of footsteps, Dead turned around raised her scythe.
It was Chelsea.
"Hello Dead Master, didn't think I would meet you again in a place like this," She greeted.
Dead lowered her weapon.
She had nothing to say to her so Dead turned the other way and began walking.
"You're looking for Yomi right?"
Instantly upon hearing that name, Dead turned around, and raised her arm. Multiple chains appeared and wrapped around Chelsea, retraining her movement. Chelsea flinched but her calm expression did not change.
"Where is she?" Dead's question sounded more like a demand.
"Trust me, if I knew I would tell you right away," Chelsea said honestly.
Dead glared at her for a moment. She couldn't tell what Chelsea was thinking. They had met once in the past and despite being the number one ranked most wanted criminal, they didn't meet as enemies.
After a moment of silence, Dead released Chelsea.
"Thank you," She said softly.
Dead once again turned around and was about to walk away when Chelsea spoke again.
"Dead, we're on floor 97. Which means we're very close to her-"
"I don't care." Dead interrupted, "I'm finding Yomi."
Chelsea softly smiled, "I figured you would say that. Let me join you, I'll help you look."
FL 91
Chariot glared at Levi who in turned glared back at her.
They continued glaring with their usual cold expression until-
"So short." Chariot commented.
"We're the same height, kid." Levi retorted.
"I need to find Kagari." Said the blonde. She immediately began searching for her other-self.
"We need to find everyone, you disabled brat." Levi insulted as he followed after Chariot.
FL 88
"Oh my gosh! It's like we're in some sort of alien ship!" Nora exclaimed excitedly.
"Probably cause we are," Strength replied as she observed their surroundings, "Come on, lets go, we need to find the others."
"Right! Lead the way!"
FL 44
Yoshino shivered, slowly taking one step forward per minute.
She was too scared to call out but luckily her hand puppet friend wasn't.
"SHIDO!" The puppet called, "KOTORI!"
Suddenly, a hand tapped the kid in the shoulder almost making her scream.
She turned around and a wave of relief slapped her in the face when she realised it was just Saturn.
"Sshh, sorry, sorry, didn't meant to scare you." Saturn apologise.
"You almost gave poor Yoshino a heart attack," The hand puppet scolded.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Saturn apologised, waving her arms.
Yoshino calmed down. It wasn't Shido or Kotori or anyone from her team but she was relieved nonetheless. Usually she's terrified of strangers and even acquaintances, but in this case, the fact that she wouldn't have to travel this scary ship alone made her glad. She clung onto Saturn's leg out of reflex.
Saturn resisted the urge to scream, her heart almost melted because of how adorable Yoshino looked.
Saturn cleared her throat, "It's ok, we'll find the others in no time, okay?"
Yoshino nodded her head.
FL 7
Neptune pointed at Neptune. Neptune also pointed at Neptune.
"Oh you're Neptune."
"You're also Neptune.
"No offence but I completely forgot there was another person with my name."
"None taken. It feels like ages since we last interacted."
Neptune gasped suddenly, "Wait, I remember now. We used to call you URANUS!"
The male Neptune stared silently as he too began to remember, "Is that really necessary? It's not like people get us mixed up."
"We won't. But the Fan-fiction readers will. Since they technically can't see us."
Uranus stared blanked, "What are you- You know what, never mind... I have a last name you know. It's Vasilias."
"Too late. The author is already referring to you as Uranus again."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!"
FL 32
Confused, lost and scared, Miku nervously walked forward.
FL 4:
"Looks like we're stuck playing Jack's stupid game." Blanc said with an annoyed tone.
Coco cleaned her sunglasses, contemplating her previous battle with Jack, "Calm down. We'll all get eliminated if we're not careful."
Blanc clenched her fist, "I know that, god dammit!"
"Oh hi there, is that you, Coco?"
Both Blanc and Coco looked to see Allisa waving to them.
"Funny place to see you here," Allisa greeted.
"You know her?" Blanc asked.
"Yeah. Allisa Revolver. My team caught her robbing a store a while ago." Coco answered.
Allisa chuckled with embarrassment, "Ahh yes, those were good times."
"Weren't you suppose to be in jail?"
"That's... a very long story. But don't worry, I'm on your side," Allisa said raising her hands up.
"Do we trust her?" Blanc asked.
Coco just shrugged.
FL 51:
"Are you okay, Blake?" Nepgear asked with concern.
"Y-yeah, I'm fine." The cat fauna replied, "You?"
"I'm actually perfectly okay, which is kinda strange."
"Why's that?"
"Well our group got attacked by Jack."
Blake flinched, "You fought him?"
"Y-yeah...and we couldn't even hit him once. I thought it was all over until suddenly that bright light healed us all."
"I see...well, our injured friends were also all healed by that light." Blake replied.
"Really?! That's good to hear!" Nepgear rejoiced. It was nice to hear some good news at least.
"Umm, by the way...Kirito told us about you guys."
Now it was Nepgear's turn to flinch, "R-really?"
"Yeah...still hard to accept to be honest. Didn't think there were different dimensions out there but...it does explain a lot."
Nepgear scratched her head out of embarrassment, "Yeah, I guess we didn't really do a good job at hiding it, huh?"
"Yeah... so then... what are you exactly, if you don't mind me asking."
"Well, it's a bit hard to explain but...My sister Neptune and I are goddesses from where we come from." Nepgear explained with a casual tone.
"Right...right..." Blake nodded her head silently for a moment, "...right."
"Hey umm also...Aren't we one floor away from Jack?..." Nepgear pointed out as she looked at the number "FL 51" on the wall.
"Yeah..." Blake shivered, "Let's do our best to avoid him for now and find the others first."
FL 55:
Plutia woke up to someone poking her.
She opened her eyes. With sleepy vision, at first, she thought she was looking at a mirror.
After a moment, she realised it was a complete stranger looking back at her. However, this stranger almost looked like an adult version of Plutia's human form.
The stranger was Ashley Heart, one of the professional huntress from Remnant.
"Hello there." Ashley greeted with a sleepy, gentle tone.
"Hello there." Plutia replied with an equally sleepy, gentle tone.
Ashley titled her head, "Have we met before?"
Plutia titled her head in the same fashion, "Have we?"
They both shrugged at the same time.
FL 63:
"Floor 63, huh..." Sinon repeated, looking at the wall.
"Do we go up or down?" Illya asked.
Kanade silently observed their surroundings.
"Better question: How are suppose to tell which way is up or down?" Sun asked.
Sinon looked at Sun with a straight face, "...Good question. I have no idea."
FL 83:
Kurumi looked around in amusement, "Ara-ara."
Shooting herself in the head, multiple clones of her appeared and began searching.
FL 94:
Yatsuhashi picked up his great sword and immdieitly began moving forward with one objective in mind. To find his leader Coco and the others.
FL 76:
Sage from Team SSSN was alone. He went on forward, knowing that staying in one spot was probably the worst move he could make.
FL 19:
"Chariot?" Kagari called out.
The blonde girl, alone and scared, slowly walked on. She continued to call out:
"Chariot? Where are you? Chariot? Chariot?!"
She heard something that made her freeze. She looked around, not sure whether that was real or just her fear makings sounds up in her mind.
"Calm down Kagari," She said to herself, "Chariot will find you. She always does...right?"
FL 15:
Julie walked and walked. Her expression was unreadable and blank. She calmly explored until she heard another pair of footsteps.
She turned around and equipped her soul weapon.
She lowered them when she realised it was just Kirito who had his hands raised.
"Hello," Kirito waved awkwardly, he has never really interacted with Julie before, "umm, shall we search for the others together?"
Julie nodded.
FL 78:
"This is not good." Yuri said to herself.
Yuri was alone on this floor and yet she was more concerned for the allies' situation rather than for herself.
"Ferid...White Rock Shooter...Jack...none of them will be easy to take out, especially with all of us separated like this...we also got no way of communication...hmmm...we'll easily get picked off one by one if we don't find a way to meet up." Yuri contemplated.
She had an automated rifle in hand in case of any attack.
"Also, the other two enemies Jack mentioned...who could they be? If they're just as strong as the other three...hmm...there may be 55 of us but the odds do not look like they are in our favour."
FL 73:
Fox from team CFVY looked for his teammates while also carefully watching out for enemies.
FL 71:
Scarlet from team SSSN was completely alone and lost, not sure where to go.
FL 37:
"OOOOHH Let's go this way! This way!" Naruto exclaimed excitedly, "This way! My gut is telling me to go this way!
"SLOW DOWN NARUTO!" Ruby said with a panicked tone as she chased after Naruto with her semblance, "WE DON'T KNOW WHAT DANGERS THEY'LL BE!"
"We'll never know until we charged straight into them!" Naruto yelled back.
"WAIT!" Ruby called.
"Oh dear," Shinoa said with a half smile, "this is quite the group huh."
Yuu just facepalmed, "Yeah..."
Shinoa and Yuu gently jogged after them Ruby who was chasing after Naruto.
FL 30:
Jaune took in a deep breath, "You got this Jaune. You'll be fine. It's just a scary looking alien ship, that's all...you've been in scarier places... you got this."
The huntsman in training marched forward with shaking legs.
FL 27:
"I do hope Yoshino is ok," Shido said with tons of worry, "Imagine how scary it would be going through this alone."
Yomi hummed in agreement.
The two continued walking in awkward silence.
These two were barely acquainted so not much words were said and every-time Shido tried to spark a conversation, Yomi would reply with brief responses.
"Are you feeling ok?" Shido asked as he remembered Dead Master's skeletons attacking Beacon.
All Yomi could say was, "...Better...a lot better..."
FL 24:
Takane looked at her phone. Nothing was working.
Center sensei, a digital rabbit who was once Saturn's teacher, was inside her phone and still able to communicate with her but besides that, her phone was practically useless.
"Oi! Didn't you work with Jack before? Where do I go?" Takane asked.
"I have no idea." The rabbit said honestly, "Jack never mentioned anything like this."
Takane sighed, "Well, that's just great."
FL 68:
Asuna sprinted. Not cause she was being chased but because she wanted to find the other allies as soon as she could.
She was worried for everyone. Going through a place like this alone would be scary for anyone.
So she ran and ran, desperately looking everywhere and checking every corner.
FL 67:
Pyrrha looked around, her spear and shield ready for any attack.
She treated this like the initiation test she went through long ago in the emerald forest. Observe her surroundings, find the right path and go for it.
However, at least with the initiation test, she knew the general direction to go and was outside.
This time she was indoors and left with too many paths to take. With caution, she choose a path and went for it.
FL 59:
After the two guys briefly introduced themselves to each other, they discussed the topic of Jack.
"You know this Jack fellow?" David asked.
Tooru nodded, "I've never met him personally but...he has been the cause of a lot trouble for me and my friends."
"Figures, that boy took one of my most expensive arrows to the face and acted like nothing happened."
Tooru turned to face the professional huntsman, "You fought him?"
"Yes...and to be quite blunt...we were like a pack of sheep trying to kill a vicious wolf. To think we need to defeat him to get out of this mess...now that makes me shiver in my boots, not gonna lie."
FL 47:
Vevlet, being a bunny fauna, had the ability to hop incredible heights.
As she hopped from one spot to the next, she made sure to take many photos.
FL 40:
"Nora! Jaune! Pyrrha!" Ren yelled into the void as he explored the area.
His aura was setting off hundreds of alarms in his head, but he had to go forward. Better than standing around and waiting for someone to come.
FL 1:
"Floor 1...lucky number 1, how fortunate." Weiss said with a pinch of sarcasm.
Nathan crossed his arms, "Just one floor away from one of the bosses."
"Ugh, that's wonderful news- Oww, my head," Weiss clutched her forehead.
Her headache was quite apparent.
"You okay?"
"Y-yeah," Weiss replied, "It's just I...I-I'm fine."
"...Well for now let us try avoid the boss as much as we can until we can regroup," Nathan stated, "The only question is: how exactly do we do that?"
FL 22:
Kotori was very deep in thought. Otonashi found it difficult to read her mood.
It didn't help that Kotori didn't have her signature lollipop in her mouth.
Otonashi gulped, not knowing what to say to her. The two haven't really talk that much before.
"H-hey, we should probably get mov-"
"Otonashi."
"Y-yes?"
"What happened?"
"Huh?"
"During the time when the attack on Beacon was just starting...what happened?" Asked Kotori.
Otonashi flinched as he remembered Kirito's words:
"I think it would be best not to tell Julie, Yu, Yoshino and Kotori about their berserk episode...especially Kotori."
"I-I don't know what you're talking about." Otonashi tried to feign confusion.
Kotori took in a deep breath, "Look Otonashi...I'm sorry if I'm intimidating you..."
It was quite ironic to say that since Otonashi was a lot taller than Kotori.
She continued, "With that said... I remember the enemy was about to attack...I was getting prepared with my team...Neptune and Plutia was messing around as always...and then...nothing...it all went black...I don't have any memories after that...I Just suddenly woke up where all the injured had gathered...and Shido seemed so relived to see me wake up."
Kotori slowly turned to Otonashi to look him directly in the eye.
Otonashi looked down at the ground.
"So, Otonashi. I'll ask you one more time...what happened?"
He gave it some thought. They both stood there in silence for a few moments. Finally, he made his decision.
"Well-"
The speakers suddenly turned on again and Jack's voice was once again heard throughout the ship.
"Hello? Hello?! Hi everyone again!"
FL 50
"Hope you're all getting comfortable with exploring. I interrupt you again with another broadcast because it has come to my mind that in the midst of my excitement, I completely forgot to mention the most important thing about this game...and that is...the stakes. Because where's the fun in a game if there's nothing to put on the line.
"Now! Listen carefully: if you manage to eliminate all 5 enemies, including me...Hooray! You win! I'll stop everything and retreat from this world. All your hardships will finally pay off. I'll leave Beacon alone, all enemies will go bye-bye and most importantly, you'll all be able to go home! Great right?
"BUT! If all 55 of you are eliminated then, and I say this with the utmost honesty...I WILL DESTROY BEACON AND KILL EVERYONE IN IT! And you will all perish!"
A huge grin found its way to Jack's face, he resisted the urge to laugh.
"In other words...FIGHT! DO YOUR BEST TO STRUGGLE AND ENTERTAIN ME! THIS IS GOING TO BE SO, SO FUN! YOUR STRUGGLES, ANGER AND DESPERATIONS! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT ALL! Haha..hahaha... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-"
"Fire's dragons-"
Jack blinked as he turned to look, "Eh?"
"IRON'S FIST!"
A hard, clenched flaming fist, punched Jack directly in the jaw. The punch was so great that is sent Jack crashing straight through his thrown and high up towards the pillars. The dimensional rebel was sent flying, his body smashed straight through 6-7 giant pillars before finally he crashed into one last pillar with a huge BOOM!
Landing on the now half-broken and burning throne was a man who wore a white scarf and red metal gauntlets.
It was Natsu.
Emerging from the debris of the pillar, Jack walked forward, casually adjusting his jaw a bit. The pillars he crashed through, automatically began repairing themselves at a slow pace.
"Well, well, well," Jack said with amusement, "Didn't think I would have a challenger so soon-"
"SHUT UP, YOU BRAT!"
Jack went quiet.
It is important to keep in mind that the speakers that Jack was speaking through was still on, in other words, everyone throughout the entire mothership could currently hear Natsu at this exact moment.
Natsu was fuming. Both mentally and physically. Physically as in: his body was literally on fire.
"YOU! HOW DARE YOU!..." The more angry Natsu got, the larger his flames ignited, "HOW DARE YOU INTERRUPTED MY FIGHT WITH WHITE! IT WAS JUST ABOUT TO GET SERIOUS BEFORE YOU GOT IN THE WAY!"
White hummed in agreement, "Took the words right out of my mouth, Natsu."
Natsu pointed at Jack, glaring with flaming eyes, "NOW YOU LISTEN HERE ZACK!"
"My name is Jack-"
"SHUT UP BRAQ!"
"Ok, ok..."
The area suddenly increased in temperature rapidly. Filled with anger, endless determination, and not a hint of fear in sight, Natsu made a declaration at the top of his lungs so that everyone throughout the entire ship could hear.
The dragon slayer clenched his fist, gesturing it towards Jack's directions, "I'M GOING TO BEAT YOU UP, HERE AND NOW! AND THEN I'M GOING TO SMASH MY WAY TO LEVEL 100 WHERE I'LL BEAT UP WHITE AS WELL! YOU GOT THAT?!"
Throughout the whole mothership, all the allies and enemies each had their own reaction to Natsu's declaration.
-o-o-
"Natsu you idiot! Get out of there!" Yuri yelled out.
-o-o-
"His going to get himself killed." Sinon commented with a facepalm.
-o-o-
"Well he is a shounen protagonist after all." Neptune wasn't surprised in the slightest.
-o-o-
Plutia clapped her hands happily as she cheered Natsu on.
-o-o-
"Is he seriously thinking of fighting Jack all by himself?" Weiss asked in disbelief.
-o-o-
"Can't someone go help him?!" Ruby cried out in worry.
-o-o-
Kurumi held in her laughter.
-o-o-
"How reckless of him...But I can't help but admire that..." Yuichiro complemented with a grin.
-o-o-
Illya smiled with proud eyes.
-o-o-
"Can't say I'm not surprised," Shinoa admitted.
-o-o-
"GO NATSU!" Naruto cheered, "KICK HIS BUTT!"
-o-o-
"Well, his dead." Blanc said with a disappointed sigh.
-o-o-
"He clearly can't tell the difference between bravery and plain stupidity." Levi stated bluntly.
-o-o-
Dead Master rolled her eyes.
-o-o-
"Oh no..." Kirito expressed with worry.
-o-o-
"HAHAHA! Man, I love that guy!" Yang laughed as she punched her gauntlets together, "Now I'm all hyped up!"
-o-o-
"Damn..." Sun cracked his knuckles, "I need to pick up my game."
-o-o-
Yoshino secretly wished for Natsu's victory.
-o-o-
Chelsea just burst out laughing.
-o-o-
Mato was too shocked to say anything. Her jaw was wide open.
-o-o-
Ferid crossed his arms with a pout, "Am i being forgotten here? That kinda hurts my feelings."
White's grin grew larger as she spoke to Jack through telepathy, "Don't you dare steal him, Jack. His suppose to be my prey."
Jack laughed, "Sorry, can't make any promises."
-o-o-
Natsu then finished his speech with, "EVERYONE! DON'T BE SCARED! PUSH FORWARD! BECAUSE TODAY...IS THE DAY WE'RE ALL GOING HOME! THAT'S A PROMISE! LETS GOOOO!"
The sense of fear and anxiety almost completely disappeared from the entire mothership. Natsu's words had sparked everyone else's determination to move on. Knowing that Natsu challenged Jack with no hesitation, those who were alone and scared, now felt like they were ready for anything that would come their way.
"Unfortunately for you Natsu, there is no way I'm going out this early in the game." Jack said as he clicked his fingers.
Multiple floating giant cannons, fist and swords appeared around Jack which were all aimed in Natsu's direction.
"I don't plan on going easy on you."
Natsu, completely unfazed by this, punched his gauntlets together, he grinned, "Neither do I!"
Jack opened fired.
Natsu launched himself forward.
Next time:

FL 100
"What an amusing fellow."
"He really is huh?"
White looked over at her, "How about you? Going to challenge me?"
"Haha, I'll pass. I don't stand a chance against you after all."
"Then why are you here?"
"Well, I was wondering if you just wanted to sit down and chat for a moment."
White raised an eyebrow, before chuckling, "Sit down and chat, you say...HAHAHA! You're almost just as crazy as Natsu."
"You don't want to?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...""
"...Sure...Why not?"
White raised her scythe and hit the bottom bit of it on the ground.
Two chair and a table with tea appeared.
"Have a seat." White gestured to the chair.
"I'm surprised you agreed."
"Don't get your hopes up just yet, I'll kill you if this conversation bores me." Said White as she took a seat.
White faced her as she rested her chin on her hands in a casual posture.
"Now...what did you want to chat about, Yuuki?"
Yuuki smiled softly as she sat in front of the alien queen. Without beating around the bush for even a second, Yuuki cut straight to the point, "Why do you hate humans so much?"
